Common Transmission Infrastructure (CTI) Sites and Private FM Radio Channels in India

This dataset contains list of Common Transmission Infrastructure (CTI) sites across India. It includes the geocoordinates of each CTI site, along with data of commercial private FM radio channels broadcasting from these sites. The dataset also contains the frequency of each radio channel and other relevant details. The data was meticulously compiled through a multi-step process. An RTI request was sent to Broadcast Engineering Consultants India Ltd. (BECIL) to gather information on all CTI sites in India, including their addresses. Subsequently, Google Maps service was utilized to find each CTI address, and the coordinates information for each location was extracted. This geographical data of CTI sites was then merged with the list of operational private FM channels (as of 15-08-2022) published by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB). Additionally, the cities' categories were added from Annexure III of the Policy Guidelines on FM Radio (Phase III).
